More Information

Each year, the Fairfax County Department of Finance works to return
more than $1 million of unclaimed property to its rightful owners.
This unclaimed money may be the result of a check being returned to the
county as undeliverable or a check that has not been cashed after a
certain period of time.

Residents and business owners can check if they have unclaimed funds
through a free online
service.

Due diligence is exercised to locate the rightful owners of the
unclaimed money and each year more than 80 percent of these funds are
successfully reimbursed. If the Department of Finance is
unsuccessful in finding the rightful owner, a report, along with the
money, is submitted to the state of the owners' last known address. To
find out if you are eligible for the funds submitted to the commonwealth
of Virginia, visit www.vamoneysearch.org.
